I wonder. Most of us are aware that laughter is the best ‘medicine’ for depression, releasing stress and more.
I am going to go beyond that, and it’s just my own thoughts here.
Since laughter has the ‘power’ to release you of stress, it must put you at ease, where you will relax, feel less self conscious, and I believe through laughter you connect with people and they with you. And once you have established that connection, you will more than likely have the people ‘on your side’ as it were.
I don’t mean start off a conversation by saying a joke or making a fool of yourself. Start off with a gentle smile and progress to finding a way to laugh and make others laugh. When making a presentation you feel less confident in making, place yourself at ease by starting off with a relevant incident that was funny.
Think what you can do to make others laugh, yourself laugh and you will all reap the benefits: from less stress to more confidence and then some.

I had no idea this was happening. Very glad you have brought this out into the open so everyone in the blogosphere can be aware of this.

Hi Flash,
Yes, it’s true. I have read it many a time where laughter cures my illnesses and diseases.
I know from personal experience, laughter makes me feel immediately better.
